In his sermon, “Make Love the Measure,” Pastor Doug explores 1 Corinthians 13, reminding us that God’s love—not comparison, judgment, or worldly standards—is the true measure of our lives. Drawing from three key principles, he teaches that love is essential because without it, even our greatest accomplishments are meaningless; love is effective because it transforms our hearts, shapes our words, and enables us to love even those who hurt us; and love is eternal because God’s love transcends every circumstance.
Pastor Doug also challenges us to examine the order of our loves, placing God first and allowing His grace and truth to guide how we love others. As we grow in both spiritual maturity and emotional health, we are invited to reflect God’s unconditional love in our homes, relationships, and communities. Are you measuring others by their shortcomings or loving them in a way that draws them closer to God? Watch the full message to discover how making love the measure can transform your life and the lives of those around you.
In this message, Pastor Craig explores the treasures that can be found in grief and loss, reminding us through Psalm 34:18 and Matthew 5:4 that God draws near to the brokenhearted and comforts those who mourn. He shares how our culture often encourages us to minimize, avoid, or simply “get over” our pain, while Jesus invites us to acknowledge our losses, wait on Him through seasons of uncertainty, and allow Him to bring new life from our deepest hurts.
Through biblical teaching, personal testimony, and the story of Peter’s restoration, we discover how inviting Jesus into our painful experiences can lead to forgiveness, healing, and freedom from generational patterns. Although the journey of healing takes time, Jesus patiently expands our capacity to face our pain and experience His restoration. What grief or loss are you still carrying, and what might happen if you invited Jesus to meet you there and begin the healing process?
In Psalm 121, guest speaker Pastor Keith Jenkins explores the question, “Where does my help come from?” He shares three places we often turn for help: people, ourselves, and God, reminding us that while relationships are a gift, people cannot be our ultimate source of salvation, and self-reliance can keep us from receiving the support we need. Through Scripture, including 2 Corinthians 12:9, we are reminded that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in our weakness.
True spiritual maturity means embracing our limitations, forgiving those who have hurt us, welcoming the support of community, and learning to trust the Lord more deeply through every trial. Where do you turn when life gets difficult—and how might trusting God and allowing others to support you transform your journey? Watch the full message to discover where your help truly comes from.
In 2 Corinthians 12:6–10, Pastor Doug explores the “thorn in the flesh” and the powerful truth that God’s grace is sufficient and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. As part of our series on Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, we are challenged to recognize that God-given limits are not obstacles but gifts that ground, guide, and grow us. Pastor Doug examines the dangers of living beyond our limits, the importance of Sabbath and healthy self-care, and how embracing our limitations creates space for God’s power and empowerment in our lives.
As we submit to God’s plan for our current season, we discover that our weakness can become our greatest asset and that His love empowers us for the mission He has given us. What limits might God be inviting you to embrace, and how might His power work through your weakness? Watch the full sermon to discover the answer.
